Questions and Answers for the Nokian PowerProof

2022-10-15 - I am interested in Nokian Powerproof 225/45 ZR 17 91Y tires. I would like to know the tread wear value or the UTGQ value.

Sorry, we don't have the UTQG values as the tire isn't sold in North America. You can contact Nokian directly to find out.

Top 3 Nokian PowerProof Reviews

Given 84% while driving a Opel insignia (215/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 30,000 average miles
My Nokians are now down to 4 mm of tread depth, after 30000km of driving, mostly highways. Previously I had Michelin Premacy 3 tires fitted.
Nokians are very well-balanced tire with great grip on dry and wet roads. During long high-speed driving (over 150 km/h) tires are very safe with precise steering. Noise level are on the low side, not intrusive in any way even when worn. Wear is higher than my previous tires Michelin Premacy 3, but this was expected for UHP tires.
Fuel consumption is Ok, I did not notice some differences compared to Premacy 3. For perfect experience I believe that ride comfort should be little bit better with better dumping capabilities.
If I could find these 20% cheaper than other premium brands (as I did last time), I would buy them again for sure.
